Wisconsinite here. I just spent the weekend (half work/half pleasure) in the greater Palm Beach area. Flew into PBI, stayed in Palm Beach Gardens, and worked in Jupiter. I had a chance to bum around from Singer Island, through Palm Beach all the way to the Lockhart Municipal Pier, including a tour of Flagler's Whitehall.
While most of the Palm Beach area is more picturesque than the frozen tundra up here (it was 40 degrees cooler for me this morning than yesterday morning :mad2:), one area in particular stood out as an area where I wanted to get some pictures. This is the area north of the Flagler Memorial Bridge in Palm Beach. A friend and I drove up Lake Way and back down Ocean Blvd/County Rd and I wanted to get out and grab a picture, but I wish I had been in my Marauder rather than a 4-door Chevy Cobalt :bigcry: so I could have gotten some good pictures for posterity.
So back to the photo request: I know Oldekid has taken some great tropical setting photos, which I love, but I was wondering if anyone has taken pictures of their Marauder on the north end of Palm Beach. If so, do you have some samples you can share with the class? :) If not, would anyone be willing to take a cruise up there and see what kind of pictures might be possible?
Here are some sample angles I thought about:

Of course, I'm sure I missed some others, and I couldn't find a good ocean vista that seemed car-friendly. If anyone has pictures like this or similar to these, or if they think they might pass through Palm Beach with their Marauder, I'd love to have some pictures to remind me the Palm Beach area! :beer:
